Post what you are thinking at this very moment

I get up a little before my wife, usually 6:00-6:30, sometimes earlier. I check the weather, clear the walk and drive as needed, start her car if it's cold. We have a smoke together and I wave goodbye. I come in, finish any dishes, do laundry, take her work clothes to the dry cleaners. I look for work both for a job job and my driving work. I work two shifts when I can, and find a time to get groceries. If I work a second shift, I am usually home later then her. I get home, make dinner, clean up after. She tells me about her day, her stress level and how she can't keep working 12 hour days. I listen attentively. We watch some TV, she goes to bed because she's tired from her long day. I stay up a little longer. Rinse repeat.

It occurred to me this morning that I live in a gender reversed 1970's household. I would say 50's but I have to work, so we need to move that up a bit...

(none of this is a complaint, just a factual realization)

You not only live in a reverse 70's household, you're a good man.

Thanks, Hal. She doesn't care for me referring to myself as the dutiful wife. I am not uncomfortable with her making a lot more money than I, but I am not comfortable with me not supplying an equal level of financial support. I need to get over that, it's a constant source of anxiety, even though she doesn't care. That pendulum will swing at some point perhaps.

She handles the Amazon supply ordering and all things cat related. So there's that.

It's a partnership and right now you're fulfilling a role just as she is. Roles will ebb and flow throughout the years and the woman is already a saint for putting up with you for any amount of time outside of a court ordered mandate.

..ya knew I couldn't be serious and nice for more that one post

FFS. My DirectTV Now is jacking prices another $10 next month. They just raised it $5 in July. Gonna be $50 now.

And they restructured their packages, My package of 60 channels (the lowest former package) is being eliminated but I will be grandfathered in if I keep continuous service. All new or reactivated accounts will have to choose between two shitty packages of 40 channels or 50 channels for $50/75.

They are really shooting themselves in the foot here. The lowest new package has 20 less channels? Including a dozen or so that I watch frequently will no longer be offered at all? It's getting to the point where I will have to reevaluate other alternatives or just drop paid live tv altogether.

They recently added a few more minutes of commercials to every broadcast anyway. I've noticed any rerun of a 30 minute show now runs 32-33 minutes on many channels.
